BrickLegacy Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Sold a $180 item FBM, delivered 11/8. Return request with reason "bought by mistake". Planning to authorize the return but how should I handle the return shipping? Use the Amazon non pre-paid label option or does that open me up to negative feedback? Pretty standard to have buyer pay return shipping for returns "bought by mistake"? It's only one state over so shipping was very cheap to begin with. Thanks.

fesoferbex Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 So, I just hopped on Amazon tonight, been away from the platform busy for a few months with other projects. Come to discover this whole gating thing... So...how boned am I?? I have no way to provide invoices which apparently I have to do before they'll approve items I want to sell... At this point, I'm tired of this crap, and not interested in playing last man standing. You think anyone who is already gated on here wants to buy my whole collection? I'm about $5000 invested into these sets. Advice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Niko Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but anyone not getting an option of using FedEx for FBM? There are two threads in the AMZ seller forum about it, but no resolution. Don't even get options for label placement in the new shipping workflow for any carrier - don't see how any of this is an improvement.

BrickLegacy Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 What's your typical threshold for adding signature confirmation for FBM? Tracking and signature confirmation has saved me on a few PayPal scams, but that was eBay. Not sure what's best practice for Amazon FBM. Thanks.

msdontplay01 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I thought on Amazon if you purchase shipping and item shows delivered you are covered?That was the policy they pitched a few months back but as Bold Arrow already pointed out, there are many sellers that claim Amazon did not adhere to their own policy when they had a customer claim he/she didn't receive their item and the shipping was purchased on Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadsAFOL Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 The buyer nearly always wins on Amazon. Build an occasional loss into your margin expectation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Bye Bye everyone! Have fun selling on Amazon this holiday period! See you on the other side of the holidays - unless FBA restrictions get lifted before then ..... That said ... the last email I had on the Holiday Selling period says it starts on Nov 17, with final notification on Nov 11. I haven't had a final notification ....... here's to hoping a miracle happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbroncoboy Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is it just me or are all the Amazon listings a bigger mess than usual this year? I've been looking through products and it seems like so many of them have two major listings with 80+ sellers, sometimes the listing with almost no reviews is the one with the most sellers. I'm guessing this is some attempt to bypass gates or inability to sell in Toys, just seems far worse to me than I remember in the past. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkrigger Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Received a return request where the buyer claims I sent them a used damaged item. "What I received was opened, used and in terrible shape for the money I paid for this. Stating an item is New then sending a used old item is fraud." What should I make of this. It is important to note that a new seller recently listed this item for $50 less than the price mine sold for. Should I offer to price adjust as well as accepting the return? Is this person trying to totally scam me and send back rocks, or old used LEPIN, or just trying to save $50 and in the process cost me a ton in shipping? Thanks for any advice. As a long time eBay seller I am not used to these Amazon scam buyers. 2 of the last 6 high ticket >$400 sets I have sold on Amazon have been to SCAM buyers. I don't know what to say and am so disappointed in the honesty of Amazon buyers of high value sets, and I will never sell an expensive item on Amazon again. Hard to believe that Amazon facilitates open theft against its sellers. Edited November 18, 2016 by junkrigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
